His emotions come out,
All at once.
He's angry
But he's crying,
A complete disaster.
He does not listen to what I say.
"I love you,"
I assure him.
He does not listen
But I know he knows.
Does he know
He knows?
He sheds his tears
Like he sheds his clothes.
All at once and then sometimes
Not at all.
He's confused
And so am I.
But he loves me.
That's all that matters.
